Is Marlon Mack Legit?

Week 7 in the NFL wasn't exactly ideal for the stud running backs in fantasy football. Ezekiel Elliot was a dud after being projected as an elite option against Washington, Melvin Gordon was inactive, LeSean McCoy was injured early on, Sony Michel was injured, and Joe Mixon was underwhelming. Other running backs were also disappointing, […]

Backfields to Avoid - Rest of Season

I’m not ashamed to admit that there are certain things in life that, frankly, I’m just simply too good for. Fast food restaurants inside of gas stations, for example. No, thank you. Strong pass every time. In the same breath, gas stations in the hood. Nope. Overly corny chick flicks that give women unrealistic, fairytale […]
